Zekaria 13
1 “Gbe ma gbe la, vudo aʋu na David ƒe aƒe la kple Yerusalem nɔlawo be woaklɔ wo ŋuti tso vɔ̃ kple ɖiƒoƒowo katã me.
On that day shall there be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for cleansing from sin and for purification.
2 “Gbe ma gbe la, maɖe legbawo katã ƒe ŋkɔ ɖa le anyigba la dzi, eye womagaɖo ŋku wo dzi akpɔ gbeɖe o.” Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe. “Maɖe nyagblɔɖilawo kple makɔmakɔnyenye ƒe gbɔgbɔ ɖa le anyigba la dzi.
And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall not be remembered any more: and also the prophets and the unclean spirit will I remove out of the land.
3 Ne ame aɖe aganɔ nya gblɔm ɖi la, fofoa kple dadaa, ame siwo dzii la agblɔ nɛ be, ‘Èdze na ku, elabena ègblɔ aʋatsonyawo le Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ me.’ Ke ne egblɔ nya ɖi la, edzilawo ŋutɔ atɔ hɛe wòaku.
And it shall come to pass, if any one should yet prophesy, that his father and his mother who have begotten him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for falsely hast thou spoken in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother who have begotten him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
4 “Gbe ma gbe la, nyagblɔɖila ɖe sia ɖe ƒe ŋutega si wòakpɔ la akpe ŋu nɛ. Magado nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe awu si wowɔ kple ɖa la be wòable amewo o.
And it shall come to pass on that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one because of his vision, when he prophesieth; and they shall not clothe themselves with a hairy cloak in order to deceive.
5 Agblɔ be, ‘Menye nyagblɔɖilae menye o: agbledelae menye. Tso nye ɖekakpuime ke, mekpɔa nye nuɖuɖu tso anyigba me.’
But he will say, I am no prophet, a man that tilleth the ground am I; for some one hath taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
6 Ne ame aɖe abiae be, ‘Nu ka ƒe abiwoe nye esiwo le ŋutiwò?’ la, aɖo eŋu be, ‘Mexɔ abi siawo le xɔ̃nyewo ƒe aƒe me!’
And should some one say unto him, What are these wounds between thy hands? Then will he say, Those with which I have been wounded in the house of my [vicious] friends.
7 “O yi, nyɔ, nàtso ɖe nye alẽkplɔla la ŋu, ɖe ame si tsɔ ɖe gbɔnye kpokploe la ŋu!” Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe. “Xlã nu ɖe alẽkplɔla la, alẽawo aka ahlẽ, eye matrɔ nye asi ɖe suetɔwo ŋu
Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man whom I have associated with me, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; but I will turn my hand toward the feeble ones.
8 le anyigba blibo la dzi.” Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ lae gblɔe. “Woaxlã nu ɖe akpa etɔ̃awo ƒe eve woaku, eye akpa etɔ̃awo ƒe ɖeka atsi afi ma.
And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts [of those] therein shall be cut off, shall perish; but the third part shall be left therein.
9 Etɔ̃liawo ƒe ɖeka sia matsɔ ade dzo me, maklɔ wo ŋuti abe ale si woklɔa klosaloe ene, eye mado wo kpɔ abe ale si wodoa sika kpɔ ene. Woayɔ nye ŋkɔ, eye matɔ na wo. Magblɔ be, ‘Wonye nye amewo’ Woawo hã agblɔ be, ‘Yehowae nye míaƒe Mawu.’”
And I will bring the third part into the fire, and I will refine them as one refineth silver, and will probe them as gold is probed: they will call on my name, and I will answer their prayer; I will say, They arc my people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.
